    93 Ford Explorer 4x4 XLT

    I am selling my Explorer because I got a new truck. It drives great for its age and was bought to be a slow project for a fun,simple and reliable DD and camping vehicle but I came into my new truck before I could fully finish it. The mechanical is great, it just needs some cosmetic touches to be...

    Wheel and tire question

    If you are at stock 4x4 height(no torsion bar cranking) and use a 285-305mm wide tire you're 9" wide rim with roughly 4.5" of backspacing will stick out pretty far. You might have to trim the front lower valence and the back of the inner wheel well. If you went with a 32" tire you'd be safer and...

    11" of Lift Horror Show

    I hear ya, good on you for actually following though with a lift story. Most people brag about getting it and then never say anything else. Interesting that you heard bad reviews of the toyos. In the diesel world they are like the high and mighty perfect tire for traction and wear the best...

    Rear LSD question.

    4.6L came with the 8.8" rear. It's a uniform shape, the 9.75 has one side that is lower.

    11" of Lift Horror Show

    Question- why didn't you go with the 6" and 3" and do fiberglass fenders on the front. They are cheap compared to what you had to do and get and would let you run those tires no problem? It would probably work out to the same height as you could fit the 40's instead of just 38's. Also- Could...

    Buying a 97 Expedition today. What do you think?

    Looks like you got quite a deal. I got mine for $2k that's 3 years newer, leather, and has the 3rd row but was in much worse shape. If the trans fluid hasn't been changed in the last 50k miles change that as well as the fuel filter.

    1998 4.6 concerns

    Are you adding roughly 15% of the mileage back on to what the odometer says to account for the larger than stock tires making it seem like you are travelling less distance? Most of these trucks came stock with 30-31's so having 35's changes that. While you're looking at the door sticker to...
